Every state has different laws about how cannabis products should be packaged. Some states require child-resistant packaging and others allow for non-child resistant packaging. This means that companies need to be aware of the requirements in their state, as well as any other states where they do business.
The design of cannabis packaging needs to follow strict guidelines because it’s a controlled substance under federal law. Packaging can’t have any images or words that might appeal to children, which is why most packages are plain black or white with no graphics or text on them at all.
